It just happened that Trump discredited all previous US propaganda. So much resources invested to make the US look good, and it’s all gone.
The U.S. is interested in acquiring machine-learning technology to carry out AI-generated propaganda campaigns overseas.

What is wrong with using the best of psychology warfare to manipulate people? - A question the US government never asked.

Imagine a maddening voice
coming out of the sockets in your house
the only way it will ever stop
is to go scorched earth
and you find a way that isn’t violent,
not nukes, not viruses just something unanticipated
something you can’t even point a gun at and destroy
that makes “it” all end somehow

This means they have already acquired this and are currently using it, and have been for years

We just have to accept that USA under Republicans is a hostile country, and try to take precautions.

I really resent the implication that democrats are any different in this respect.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
They absolutely are, they are still pandering to wall street, but they are not fascist they believe in democracy, and they don’t undermine allies, they don’t plan to take health care away from Americans, and on average they are not nearly as corrupt as the Republicans.
Claiming there is no difference is decidedly moronic and harmful to progress in USA, and part of the problem USA is in.

Of course. Why let Russia and China have the monopoly on making the world a worse place.

Surprised this isn’t already a thing. Any mainstream social network is very very soon going to be completely useless for political discourse.

Absolutely, they already do in USA, but the rest of the world is more complex with a multitude of different local conditions to exploit, and requires way more work, so AI would be an even bigger help for making US propaganda for foreign countries.
If they were planning on “attacking” Russia that has been extremely hostile themselves, I wouldn’t have a problem. But Trump is looking to attack traditional allies and is making them enemies!!
Most of Europe already no longer consider USA a reliable ally! And Trump continues to make it worse.

I wonder if most of europe believes they could successfully fight a war against Russia, USA, China, Iran, North Korea, Syria… etc. I know Europe doesn’t/didn’t want to help the US avoid their current fascist dictatorship, so I wonder what they imagine the result would be in conflict against the new axis of evil.
